About this title

Synopsis

In side one, readers will meet two little Chinese girls—Funni Unni and Bei Be—who live in an orphanage on the other side of the world. Their story begins with a long ride to meet their new family.

In side two, the readers meet a family searching for two little girls. Their story is of a long ride around the world where they meet two little girls with black hair, button noses, and bright eyes as black as coal.

The journeys combine in the middle of the book where the two groups become a family.

With gorgeous, detailed illustrations, this book will be treasured not only by families who have adopted but by families of all kinds.

• In 1996, U.S. citizens adopted over 11,300 foreign born children (U. S. Department of State)
• Incredibly detailed illustrations will engage children and adults alike
• Flip-book style tells two stories in one
